Hi knight!

1:01 am

dart001

have a feeling we will e back here in the next year or so :(

1:02 am

MVA

hi knight!

1:02 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is that I saw it in an Ogden Nash poem about the Greeks, rhymed with science...

1:02 am

jillibus

brb -- email check

1:02 am

Atalante

its a type of ancient egyptian pottery

1:02 am

SamanthaJoy

I adore Ogden Nash. :)

1:02 am

MLFAN17

Can i ask for one clue please?

1:02 am

SamanthaJoy

sure

1:03 am

Atalante

oh wait, its just pottery. but the ancient egyptians used it. "Faience or faïence is the conventional name in English for fine tin-glazed pottery on a delicate pale buff body."

1:03 am

MLFAN17

AS 6 does anybdy have it?

1:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Any particular one, or shall I just throw one out there?

1:03 am

Douglas

The point of Nash's poem was that if it weren't for the Greeks, Freud would have had to come up with totally different names for his complexes...

1:03 am

SamanthaJoy

oh. darn.

1:03 am

Just1Mar

throw throw

1:03 am

Atalante

Egyptian faience is a non-clay ceramic displaying surface vitrification which creates a bright blue-green luster. It is called 'Egyptian faience' to distinguish it from Faience which refers to the ambiguous term frit and a type of pottery now know as majolica: a tin glazed ware originally produced in Faenza in northern Italy.

1:04 am

MLFAN17

what justmar?

1:04 am

Atalante

not entirely sure how the Greeks fit in there ...

1:04 am

Douglas

Ogden Nash used the spelling faïence, and the umlauts made it all the more intriguing...

1:04 am

Just1Mar

sam offered to throw a clue out so I said, throw throw

1:04 am

SamanthaJoy

It's Ogden Nash, Ata. It didn't have to follow a logical theme. :)

1:05 am

Douglas

Well, the Greeks did make a lot of urns, you know...

1:05 am

Atalante

hmmm. interesting.

1:05 am

MLFAN17

oh i am sorry justmar lol

1:05 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, you were talking to ME! Um, ey7 is my old neighbor's YARD with all the junked cars in it.

1:06 am

1:06 am

stidmama

yippee! e 7/8! thanks samantha!

1:06 am

Atalante

true ... but majolica / faience definitely came to the present via arabic countries -> spain area. not through the greeks. but yes, as Sam said ...

1:06 am

Douglas

Chatterbox is closing, along with my eyes, (sort of), no moral victory, but having is not as pleasurable as wanting...

2:04 am

sprite

that is what you think, mrP :) You underestimate your attractiveness...

2:04 am

mrpresident

**blush** !

2:04 am

jillibus

tough question, kiwi

2:05 am

mom2han8

never mind... I just got it.... have no idea what it means, LOL!

2:05 am

sprite

awww Kiwi... that is tough. Stick to the simple truth, I think. "I wish he would contact you as much as you do, and I know it hurts you he doesn't. Whatever the reason, know that you are NOT to blame."

2:06 am

GroovyKiwi

thats what ive said but i dont think its working well - hes not even answering his cellphone

2:06 am

sprite

darling, there is nothing YOU can do to spare your kids this pain. If HE is not doing it, no one can. You can only be there for them while they battle with the pain and the feelings of rejection.

2:07 am

mrpresident

there could be many reasons kiwi, non that would make sense now, but it would be ok to let them know you love them and are there for them... full stop

2:07 am

GroovyKiwi

yeah i know but i so much want to spare them and i know i cant

2:07 am

sprite

basically, what is happening is, that he is being extremely selfish and not minding the feelings of his children. That is cruel. But not your fault and not theirs, just his.

2:08 am

GroovyKiwi

yup i think thats it in a nutshell spritey

2:08 am

sprite

yeah, I understand. Let us hold you for a bit... it hurts like hell to see your kids being in pain and knowing you cannot spare them this. But they have you, and you are doing an incredible job with them. They have more than I ever had, darling.

2:08 am

jillibus

would it be ok to tell tham that he is having problems of his own which are preoccupying him and making him forget everything else?

2:09 am

mrpresident

jilli, he is a selfish prick??

2:09 am

GroovyKiwi

i dont think they would care about that

2:10 am

GroovyKiwi

it just comes down to him being selfish thats all and i just have to be there to pick up the pieces and hold them tight and tell them how much i love them

no problems of his own should weigh more than his love for his kids and his attempts to spare them any unnecessary pain. The divorce is tough enough on them. Seeing they take 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) place to his problems is worse.

2:11 am

mrpresident

good going kiwi... remember that is why they chose you to be their mother

2:11 am

GroovyKiwi

my god hes just rung

2:12 am

Andree

hi everyone

2:12 am

chic

tell them the truth, kiwi, their father is a coward and a bum who can't deal with his responsibiolities...

2:12 am

sprite

I think the most comforting thing you can say without lying is that their father loves them as much as he is capable of. And that you are there for them every step of the way, because you love them as much as you are capable of.

2:12 am

sprite

good... babble vibes bewitched the jerk

2:12 am

jillibus

well yes, he is a selfish prick but you can't tell them that in those words. You're right; just tell them you love them and they had nothing to do with his departure.

2:12 am

sprite

hi Andree!

2:13 am

mrpresident

hi andree! ((hugs))

2:13 am

jillibus

hi andree

2:13 am

sprite

I would disagree, chic... drives kids crazy if one parent speaks ill of the other. Loyalty is a strong urge in kids.

2:14 am

P.J.

I just updated my pro. but does anyone know how to change your player name?(such as hodag)

2:14 am

sprite

ho, only drG can do that for you.

2:14 am

mrpresident

hodag, you have to ask dr.g

2:15 am

sprite

snap, mrP :)

2:15 am

P.J.

how do you do that?

2:15 am

chic

Yeah and kids really resent it when you lie or sugar coat stuff....

2:15 am

Andree

best thing to do is let him make his own excuses for not calling, you don't need to do it for him and when the kids ask say I don't know maybe his phone is out of range

2:15 am

mrpresident

email him ask him to change your user name

2:17 am

sprite

exactly, chic. So I would say: stick to the truth, but don't badmouth the man.

2:17 am

GroovyKiwi

well at least he rung now

2:17 am

sprite

hallelujah, Kiwi. You are my hero.

2:17 am

Andree

my kids are grownups but I never have to say anything bad about their dad as they do it for me,lol

2:18 am

P.J.

i get very confused with these things!!!!

2:18 am

sprite

exactly, Andree, lol. If you don't force them to defend the bastard, they will come to their own conclusions soon enough.

2:18 am

GroovyKiwi

2:18 am

GroovyKiwi

2:25 am

2:26 am

GroovyKiwi

2:26 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. Hi Kiwi, sheesh! wasn't it enough you packed up all his cr** for him, tell him to stop giving you grief! it might drive you to drink (again!)

2:27 am

Andree

hi lyn hugs - nothing i say is gonna work it will just go in one ear and out the other

2:28 am

GroovyKiwi

so i just need to get over it

2:29 am

sprite

the only thing you can do is try and NOT let him pull your strings. He seems to know he gets to you through the kids. It is a battle all parties will lo4. If you can, keep your energy for yourself and your kids and don't waste it on him. Tough, I know!

2:29 am

jillibus

I'm not seeing words and eyes are slamming and I can't stop yawning -- guess I need to go to bed...

2:29 am

P.J.

I am changing my player name to 'chic" instead of hodag,I don't know how long it will take Dr.god to do this?

sounds like it, jilli :)
Want a big hug and a bunch of great dreams to take with you?

2:30 am

P.J.

gm Lyn

2:30 am

6:15 am

nancethefan

some local artists weave baskets. They are beautiful & EXPENSIVE.

6:16 am

carleekat

this weaving is with straws ( drinking straws) used as "needles" and you thread yarn on them... then weave with another colour.... makes a belt...or a hat band

6:16 am

nancethefan

a course in that type of basketweaving was offered, but it was cancelled due to the lack of interest. I really wanted to learn how they do that.

6:16 am

nancethefan

that sounds fun

6:17 am

carleekat

and for some whacked out reason....our girls LOVE straw weaving...EVERY year at camp...they want straw weavers for quiet time..and they are a pain in the *** to make

Oh,poor Walter. I've (luckily) never had an ear infection, but they sound absolutly miserable.

8:05 am

I know. Breaks my heart. He's asleep on the floor right now but he surely is miserable. We were at the doc's this morning and are well armed, though. But still. Poor little guy.

Did they jab him with a needle with the penicilin?

8:05 am

I've never had one either but I know three people-- one a doctor and one 78 years old-- who clearly remember how awful they were from back when they were 3.

8:06 am

MonkeyGames

I am THRILLED he's asleep. Slept not a wink last night, as well. Needs it badly. And no, herin, luckily he has fruit flavored amox in a tube.

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

i remember my brother hallucinating when he had them

8:06 am

herinfernallady

Me that makes four. I was often at a docs or a hospital with ear infections (the rolling on floor screaming in pain kind)

8:06 am

Madi95

i have them monthly. not a fun thing

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

(high fever)

8:06 am

Uniquity

Yes MG, I had migraines as a child...apparently ear aches are on a similar level...some claim more intense, but I say at least they end aftr a few days or a week. A year for me :(

8:07 am

EvaNadine

do i GOTTA do work today?? i dont WANNA!

8:07 am

MonkeyGames

Ouch! My husbandgets migraines. Luckily only every few months for a few days, but I can see how awful it is.

I wish I had to, Eva. Called in because of Walter, obviously, but I'd much rather work and have him well.

8:07 am

Hi all. I am about to leave but, MonkeyGames, I wanted to say Best Wishes to Walter. I still have a terrible time with my ears. God bless him! And, "Gute Besserung!!!"

8:08 am

I can ignore most pain, but migraines/bad headaches cripple me. Especially with my poor eyesight, the strain is ridiculous.

true, monkey!

Oh, poor Eva *hug*. It's been a long time for me, but as a kid they were worse than imaginable torture. Can't look up down, straight, sideways, move, anything. Only time I have felt that bad other than migraine was when I had strep for two weeks and waited way too long to go to doc (hoped it would go away :() Fevered for days, hallucinated, and in general was stupid.

8:10 am

MonkeyGames

Going to look at it now...

Wow. That was long. Sorry!

oh Eva, how terrible, I get migraines as well, nothing so far today, but when it gets really hot and humid, which today it's going to be, the can start up :(

8:12 am

herinfernallady

There needs to be a way to stop migraines ever happening

8:12 am

EvaNadine

i dont get them often, and when i do, theyre usually not like that.
i unfortunately do get headaches so often (mainly thanks to my TMJ) that i carry advil in my purse...

8:12 am

Uniquity

You poor migraine sufferers! How can you stand tolook at computer screens? Drives me nuts when I have a headache. Like I said, eyestrain = no good.

I'll read it more carefully in a bit, Herin. It looks like a good artical. I opted to go with the antibiotics because we'll be flying and right now is no time to take chances, but luckily he doesn't get these often and he has recovered without antibiotics a couple of times... but another time his eardrum burst... but of course then he immediately felt vastly better as well.

8:13 am

Uniquity

I spent a few years with a considerable amount of advil in my purse...then they just stopped. Plus, other people always took my expensive ibu.

8:13 am

herinfernallady

I wear reading glasses and take regular breaks from the net (though it may seem like it)

8:13 am

Uniquity

Glasses....has them since I was seven. Bad eyes. Thus the eyestrain and migraines.

8:14 am

sadie52

8:14 am

MonkeyGames

Glasses... had them about six months now. Still not used to it.

8:15 am

herinfernallady

MOnkey. I was trying to word what my mum did but i just couldn't think. I remember the antibiotics (and chocolate (tiny square) after as the taste was horrid and the warm compress and the vaporiser. I was about 3-4 at the time.

MonkeyGames

Back just for a sec to say: Good news! He has woken up (JUST as I was about to go reload the dishwasher and check to see if you need to get meat), an is still miserable but he is sitting up and talking about stuff, wanted to watch ice age instead of huddle on me with his face in his hands, and is finally drinking some water willingly, even eagerly, instead of having to literally be forced to. I have just given him a paracetamol and some of the lidocaine ear drops as well. he has a fever of 38.3, two tenths lower than it was. Maybe he's turned teh corner!

8:36 am

Very interesting, indeed... Where could we learn things, if not from Babble!

3:11 pm

autumn moon

I already mended the hole in the bunny

3:11 pm

3:11 pm

autumn moon

I don't like to hand sew, but I love stitching too

3:12 pm

lilliann

i've got a few to mend of my daughter's but i've put them away until i get around to it, which knewing me will be never, but she's forgotten about them anyway, she has that many

3:13 pm

autumn moon

my furbaby has these little bears from IKEA. They are her babies.

3:13 pm

autumn moon

and before she eats all the stuffing, I thought I better perform some surgery and get them sewn up

3:13 pm

lilliann

ahhh!

3:14 pm

autumn moon

*trying to explain that she's a 120 pound rottweiler who carries around stuffed bears but doesn't rip them apart*

(self inflicted rule - halfway and NBT before list)

3:23 pm

lilliann

i must admit i went to list early today, i find this grid worde than pulling hair out

3:24 pm

lilliann

or i want to pull mine out now and i am using the list...lol

3:24 pm

autumn moon

I, too, admit when I go to list early.... It's self imposed tho, so I can change the rules at any time!

3:25 pm

autumn moon

there was a bit of an argument over when to give clues just after flip.

3:25 pm

lilliann

oh, was there\/

3:25 pm

jeffer

Autumn, what's NBT ?

3:26 pm

lilliann

usually when people ask for them is good

3:26 pm

autumn moon

no blank tiles - have at least one word from each active tile

3:26 pm

autumn moon

I figure, if you want to work on the grid and not use clues, don't open chat

3:27 pm

jeffer

3:27 pm

lilliann

bbnaz

I just don't like to start and not finish. And I only have a couple of hours to play today

bbnaz

4:07 pm

lilliann

i'm like you bb, i like to finish everything i ever start, but i've been at this longer than 2 hours throughout the day
